"Well, regarding this... It's a little complicated," Sam said as he was deep in his thoughts.
Yvonne pursed her mouth. "Complicated?"
"Yes, I just found out about it yesterday when I was making arrangements with the doctors and nurses at the hospital where Mr. Lancaster is staying." Sam pulled a chair and sat down.
Yvonne stared fixedly at Sam. "What’s going on?"
"It's just that Mr. Lancaster's attitude towards Jacqueline seems to have changed completely. It’s very strange because it is as though Jacqueline is his lover. Since yesterday, Jacqueline started going to the hospital to take care of him." Sam told Yvonne what h e knew and met her gaze.
Yvonne's mind went blank and her expression darkened. "Lover?"
"Yes, his attitude towards Jacqueline seems to be the case."
"How could this happen!" Yvonne became emotional." But I'm his lover!"
"Calm down first, don't get so worked up." Sam comforted her.
Yvonne's lips trembled. "How can I be calm? My husband is treating Jacqueline like his lover. How can
I accept that? No, I have to go over. I have to find out what's going on!"
After she said that, she tried to get out of bed.
Sam frowned and stopped her. "What’s the point of asking him? Moreover, with your current condition, do you really have the courage to show up in front of Mr. Lancaster?"
As soon as she said this, Yvonne felt as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over her head, and she immediately calmed down.
He was right. She was ugly, so how could she possibly have the courage to let him see her?
Even when she went to see him, she went when he was in a deep sleep.
After Yvonne calmed down, Sam sighed and said," Shan, I know you can’t accept it, so I’m going to investigate what's going on and find out the reason behind Mr. Lancaster's sudden change in behavior."
"Then did you find anything?" Yvonne looked at him hopefully.
Sam shook his head regretfully. "No, but I know there must be something wrong. The day before yesterday, Mr. Lancaster's attitude towards Jacqueline was extremely repulsive, and he even wanted to kill her. However, suddenly everything changed yesterday. First, he asked Joe to bring Jacqueline to his ward." "Then what?" Yvonne clenched her fist that was less
injured.
Sam looked at her. "Then they talked in the ward, but we don't know what they talked out. From then on, Mr. Lancaster was very kind to Jacqueline, and she also started taking care of him at the hospital. Their interaction seems as if they're lovers."
"Lovers..." Yvonne repeated in a low voice. She started crying and laughing at the same time. "How is that possible? He obviously has no feelings for Jacqueline, so how can he treat Jacqueline like a lover? I'm the one he loves!"
"I find it strange too, so I asked some of my guys to find out from Dr. Summers and Joe, but they didn't reveal anything. They just seemed repulsed when Mr. Lancaster and Jacqueline were mentioned. Most importantly, it seems like Dr. Summers and Mr. Lancaster had fallen out!" Sam rubbed his brows.
Yvonne's eyes widened. "Fallen out? How could that happen? They're childhood friends and they have such a good relationship. How could they have fallen out?"
"I know you're surprised, but it is indeed true. They had a fight over Jacqueline last night. After their argument ended, Dr. Summers was no longer Mr. Lancaster’s attending physician." Sam told her.
She held her forehead as she felt her mind buzzing.
There was so much news that her brain just did not know how to process it.
"They argued because of Jacqueline, so what exactly did they argue about?" Yvonne asked hurriedly.
Sam shook his head, "My men did not dare to get too close, so they didn't hear much of their conversation. They only heard Dr. Summers blaming Mr. Lancaster and telling him that he should feel sorry for you if he did that. They didn't hear anything else after that."
"Sorry for me?" Yvonne pointed to herself.
"That’s what he said," Sam answered.
Yvonne lowered her head and her body trembled.
